IMPROVEMENT IN PETROLEUM-FORGES OR BLOW-PIPES.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 126,158, dated April 30, 1872; antedated April 10, 1872.

Specication describing certain Improvementsin Petroleum-Forges, invented by HERR- MAN S. SARONI, of Cincinnati, in the county of Hamilton and State of Ohio.

The invention consists in a petroleum-forge, which is hereinafter fully described, and the peculiar features thereof subsequently pointed out in the claim.

Figure 1 of drawing represents avert-ical and longitudinal section of m y forge and all the parts connected therewith, including the air-compressing device. Fig. 2 is a longitudinal section of my vaporizer and combustion-chamber.

H is the forge-stand, provided with pumicestone, fire-brick, soap-stone, asbestus, or other non-combustiblematerial. Viththis the metal is surrounded while being heated, as is ordinarily and necessarily done in all coal or coke res. In the same plane therewith is located a gas-burner, g, from which a flame is caused to impin ge upon the artiiicial and non-combustible material H. The gasburner g is lapertured at g g, as seen in Fig. 2. h isavaporizer, having valve-seat h. l is a valve-rod, having the valve l to t the said seat h. m is a pipe leading from the vaporizer to a tube, d, and surrounding the valve-rod. The tube d is carried up to the bottom of a hydrocarbonchamber, A, and is provided with a suitable stop-cock, e. The chamber Ais surrounded by a water-jacket, B. C is an inverted chamber, whose sides surround chamber A, and are immersed in the Water. f is a tubular guide'to receive a guide-rod, f, projecting from Vessel C. E are weights, and E counter-balance weights.

The mode of operation is as follows: The hydrocarbon liquid being caused to fill the chamber A, the vessel C is raised and some elastic fluid, as air or gas, brought into the chamber until a sufficient quantity is obtained to form an air-cushion. The vchamber is then allowed to rest in the Water and upon the aircushion until the necessary weight is applied to the chamber to expel the liquid through tube el. The cock e is then opened, when the liquid is expressedinto tube m and against the closed valve h. If the valve-rod is now Withdrawn theliquid passes through the gas-gen erator h into the combustion-chamber g. The generator h'or the combustion-chamber being heated, the hydrocarbon is evaporated as fast as it appears. Air entering at the apertures g g', combustion is produced immediately thereaft-er. combustion-chamber g aprojecting flame of intense heat,which plays constantly upon the pumice-stone H', and most effectually heats the metal covered by it.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

l. rIhe non combustible material H', arranged on a forge-stand H, combined, as described, with a tubular gas-burning chamber,

g g g", aligned therewith and impinging a constant flame thereon, as and for the purpose specified. y

2. The combination of hydrocarbon reservoir A, having discharge-pipe d, Water-jacket B f, and vessel C G, constructed and applied as and for the purpose specified.-

3. The combination, as described, of compressor C, reservoir A f el, water-jaclet B, pipes d m, valved gas-generator h h l l', combustion-chamber and burner g g g, and noncombustible material H in a suitable hearth,

to form an improved petroleum or hydrocarbon forge, as set forth. i
